Disney Films You Can Look Forward To

After successfully owning the world of animation, Disney in now on a roll to remake all of their most popular Disney animated movies in live-action. And we’re not complaining. With multiple Disney films to look forward to, we’ve listed all the movies coming to you in theaters soon.

Mary Poppins

After 53 years since the original Mary Poppins appeared on screens via an umbrella, Mary Poppins is coming back this December 19, 2018, to visit the grown-up Banks children in a Disney musical reboot. Which honestly is a relief that it is a sequel rather than a remake, as frankly a re-adaptation will only fall short from the original movie itself. Directed by Rob Marshall, the film stars Emily Blunt- as Mary Poppins, with Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Julie Walters, Dick Van Dyke, Angela Lansbury, Colin Firth, and Meryl Streep. The movie’s fantasy sequences brings the return of Dick van Dyke, from the original Mary Poppins film, and if you were a fan of the the dancing animated penguins, then you’re in luck!
